John H
Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Welcome to my profile. I'm an experienced online tutor and examiner, who has been teaching English Language & Literature and Religious Studies online since 2013. I am a fully qualified teacher with a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education.While I am a passionate tutor of each of these two subjects individually, more importantly I feel that my experience in each subject contributes something to the other.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive university like Cardiff or Swansea. Can a tutor help with the skills needed for this?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students develop the sophisticated analytical and essay-writing skills that top universities look for. They can work with your child to go beyond the curriculum, helping them think critically and articulate their ideas with clarity, which is essential for strong A-Level performance and university applications.
With the high academic standards in Brecon, can a tutor help my child move from a predicted B to an A* in English?
Yes, this is exactly where one-to-one tutoring can make a huge difference. A tutor can identify the specific areas holding your child back and create tailored lessons to target them. By building both their skills and their confidence, they can help your child aim for those top A*/A grades.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect fit. You can filter tutors by their experience and specialisms, watch their introductory videos, and read detailed reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will connect with before booking your first session.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of demand. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find brilliant support that fits your budget.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check and an identity check. We are very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. There's an interactive whiteboard for brainstorming ideas or analysing texts, video and audio chat, and a simple way to share files and resources. It's a secure and effective way to learn from the comfort of home.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
Confidence is often the biggest barrier to progress. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. A tutor's patient, positive reinforcement helps them see what they're capable of, which makes a huge difference to their self-belief.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have experts in all core academic subjects, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills! From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to mastering coding languages like Python, we're here to support all of your child's learning goals.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time, and book your first session. Many of our tutors can be available within a few days.
What makes Tutorful a good choice?
We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students achieve their goals. Parents like you have given us a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews, because our focus is always on providing high-quality, personalised support that truly makes a difference to your child's confidence and grades.
